Testimonials

We’re happily enjoying the home and every aspect of the renovation. Thank you.

Derek S., Vancouver

We’ve been so happy with our beautiful new space and have such a feeling of contentment every time I walk in the door now, when I see our “new” house. We were also very appreciative of your flexibility in managing the expense of unforeseen items. We’ve had nothing but enthusiastic, glowing reactions from everyone who has seen the work and have already recommended reVision to a few friends who are planning renovations of their own.

Bethany W., Coquitlam

Thanks for the follow up. Happy to report that all is well and our family is enjoying our home very much. There is always lots of compliments whenever we have guests over.

James F., Vancouver

We are enjoying the house and have received dozens of compliments with the way things turned out. I especially like showing people the before and after pictures of our house. What was once the ugliest house on the street is now the best looking one.

Chester C., Richmond

The overall organization and speed at which the project has progressed has been wonderful….we love the transformation we are seeing in our home. Thank you!

A special thanks is due to Todd for seeing to it that the work progressed efficiently, with materials and trades people arriving when needed.

Todd is very organized and detail-oriented as well as being incredibly reliable…Todd represents a high level of professionalism within the work being done as well as on a personal level.

David C., Vancouver

When our renovations were complete, we were very pleased with the quality and detail of the work that had been done. Also the estimated time in which Todd quoted at the beginning was accurate.

Peter M., Richmond

We have undertaken several projects over the past couple of years using your company’s services and have found you to be attentive to our needs and concerns, responsive to our requests, and as efficient as the busy construction industry can under existing conditions.
